A couple ideas. While it is possible that your clutch needs adjustment, and yer simply not getting the clutch disengaged enough.. that is usually a gradual thing.. not all at once after sitting. More likely, the clutch plate is frozen to the flywheel.... or it could even be stuck due to a leaky rear main seal or tranny input seal, greasing up the clutch. Try blocking the clutch down overnight and see if it releases any better inthe morning. The oily ones usually do. If it is stuck from surface rust instead.. tie the clutch down, and then go out driving and do some figure 8's and stomp on the brakes intermittantly, on either side.. and both at once... should brake the clutch free. Blocking the clutch down during storage will prevent it from rusting up. Also people have reported a semi-longterm fix with the oily clutch by 1) draining some rear end fluid out until the level was even with the lower bolt hole on the round inspection cover, and 2) removing the starter, and trying to spray-clean the flywheel with a can of carb or brake cleaner with a flexi straw.. I can't verify that that work.. bt have 'heard' that it helps. Soundguy
